"% 11.—The New ‘council, even n-Comniis- -man of the po- E the July meeting, added arot laurel to_ iis liberality i the publie cxvenwe-and fhereased the salar'es af the ‘members’ of- that] pruch-mal everely -criticis: e polire d mr’ Tt _was some fu'ly high. as the tion nlants’and policemen mnow work . have a day off a {< vacation a year and when retirement comes Palf pai for the rest of thefr ltves.

It’s nice to be a policeman in New London: much, better. than be; ing the ice man. The policemen * nized in the distri lic money, perhaps that the paid driver apparatus receive little attentiord in the pay-raising line. They are the only ones that have been omitted in| the general increase in nay of_ offi- cials and employes of the city. There are two of them on duty in each fire house and between them they divide 2 -fotir hours a da seven days a week. have no time off. not even a vacatian. and no pair of these drivers| gets as’ much _a mongh as is handed ever to an officer of the police de- partment. The city reeeives twenty-four hours A day from each pair of these driv- ers, yet they seem to be in the di eard when the raise of pay is being eqnsidered by the members of the eeurt of common cpuncil. This is ne wonder, however, as the members of the council have made no more to get pay for service they are guposed to render the city. However, the mem- besr of the council do not devote all heir time to city affairs, but the ap- paratus drivers do, for that is their employment, their means of livelihood. Alderman Cragan fires hot shot sometimes during debate in the coun- eil, his chief hobby being matters pertaining to the fire dapartment, bas- ed4 on his knowledge of the depart- sment, on his long membership as a member and officer of the F. L. Allen Mepk and Ladder company. Even Al- derman Tom has not made a murmur for the increase in the pay of the driv- ers. He told at the last meeting of the council of the chairman of the| committee running the department to suit himself and ignoring the other members of the committee. including the alderman himself. He told of things that had bean done and had Been left undone by the committee. and all that sort of thing, attacked the action of formger members in the matter of purchase of fire apparatus, | fire-masks and so on: declared there was an efficient department <o far as and not the Insurance the fight fires. But not a word for more pay for the drivers. Aldegman Cragan struck a popull note when he announced that the peo- ple of New T.ondon wera sompetent to steady ving been recog- on of the pub- is about time of motor fi eonduct its own affairs without the in- terrention of the Boston men who prepose to raise the insurance rates unless New TLondon dishands pre: ant efficient volunteer fire department, substitute #-.paid department, build new firehouses..

This threat in view of the fact that the,fi hss per capita in Xew Tondon 1919 was lower than any other citv per in the Unii- o4 States. wit 2 exception!

Niagaras have always made quick re- sponse. and. reached the beach in less than -ten minutés after the call was! recéived; but that'is a big waste of time when a human life is at stake. There ought to be a lung-motor at the Beach. and be in charge of men there who understand the workings .of the wonderful life-saver. There are some ways that public money can be ex- pended to advantage and that is one of them. | * Mayor Morgan donned his fl\mk cap arter Alderman Grazan announced thaat there had not been a medting of the fire department committee of the court of common ‘council for the past nine months. the chairman acting. as the whole cotamittee. and doing prac tically nothing in that line.. . The mayor has_publicly announced that there must be a change in method and that the cSmmittee must meet at fre- quent intervals if the interests of the city are to be properly safeguarded. Meetings of the committee are likely to be held. Perhaps by reason of no meetings of the committee is the ex- planation why Alderman Gragna has not advocated increase of pay for the drivers of fire apparatus. -He did not have the opportunity. It is up to the fire committee to fix the pay of these faithfol men, and it is a =afe bet that the alderman will see to it that there is something doing in that line. While the police committee has been more than busy in. mixing up matters in that department, Mayor Morgan says that the street commit- tee, as well as the fire committee are Jeaving *undone matters that should be done. He insists that the several committees must co-operate with him in serving the city in order to achive satisfying results, declaring that much of the public adverse criticism is due to the slack work of some of the standing committees, and he special- ized an instance on the part of the street committee in the improvement of Harris street. It is believed that the mavor will don his fighting togs and get after the delinquent commit- tees and see to it that they do. the duty assigned them under charter au- thority, or requeat their resignation. Now that the police muddle is par- tially settied. the mayor will have the time to devote himself to the other committees, he heing by virtue of his office chairman ex-officio of all the committees. The action of the insurance ex- change in threatening to increase the rates in New London unless the de- mands of the exchange are complied with, meets with general disfavor of nearly every citizen. It is believed the conditions here do not justify the de- mands. Mayor Morgan is strongly op- posed and will not yield to the- de- mands and will prevent adoption to the ‘limit _of his influence and ability. He is a believer in a municipal plan of insurance and is of the opinion that the present premiums paid into a lo- cal fund. properly and expertly ad- ministered, would meet all require- ments. - This on the basis, which is well . found: that insurance com- panies -receive theusands of dollars moro in premiums. from New London than is paid in fire losses. The may- or has_called a meeting of citizens for Friday evening to consider this in- suranee proposition; teo late to be covered in this communication.

He had learned that Uncle Sam had call- ed for 10,000 cavalrymen to replace téd and chergency men in_ or- nizations stationed along the Mex- can border, and he told . Sergeant Dunster there was nothing he would like better than to take a crack at Villa. Although only eighteen years old he had a physique that many an athlete might envy, a chest of thirty- five inches with three inches of ex- pansion. and 148 pounds of solid beet —pretty good for a fellow not quite five feet six. Colone! B. P. Nicklin, commanding this recruiting district urges young men to enlist in the recruiting sta- on at the post office building in Nor- wich instead of going to New London, in order that their own home town may get credit for their enlistment. Service in what may be called America’s colonial troops has proven so popular that the branches open to applicants are rapidly closing up. Tel- egraphic orders received this morning that no more men will be accepted to serve with our troops in China. The branches that are still open are en- gineers, siznal corps. medical depart- ment. air service, balloon corps, coast and quartermaster corps for servico in the Hawaii. Panama and | the ' Philippines, and Colonel Nicklin | urges young men who wish to serve | with America's troops in the Orient | to get in promptly before more branches are closed to applicants.
